Your 100% correct in this assumption. If you look at it, you will find big heavy falcadores have the caliper positioned on the front and lighter cars like 3 series bmw nissan 200sx ect have the caliper on the back of the strut. Reasoning for this i can only assume is that with a light car you would not want all the weight of the car towards the front as you will end up locking up the arse end way to early compared to the front, as with a more weighty car i would doubt its so important. Though i really cant see a problem, i have calipers on the front of my struts on my ra23 due to positioning (i.e i had to have the bloody big things on there) and the front locks up with the rears quite nicely.

Cheers Adam
